1. A traffic management apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry to:
generate a virtual map of a subjected area by dividing an area in which a moving body is able to travel in the subjected area, into role areas each of which corresponds to each of a plurality of roles and includes a travel area which is used for the moving body to travel and other areas which are not used for the moving body to travel, based on the number of moving bodies scheduled to travel in the subjected area specified from work plan information which is work plan information regarding the subjected area of the moving body and is plan information on a transportation work of loads by the moving body, and based on the number of loads scheduled to be placed in the subjected area specified from the work plan information; and
distribute to the moving body, the generated virtual map.
